General André Delpech prize awarded

The General André Delpech Prize will be awarded at the CID general meeting on May 3

The general André Delpech prize 2025 will be awarded to Mr Florian Hartmann, Mayor of Dachau, for the active support given by the town of Dachau to the CID, the Memorial and the Foundation's commemoration policy and activities, as well as for its active support for requests from national associations. The prize will be presented by the President of the CID, Mr Dominique Boueilh.

In 2020, for reasons linked to the COVID, the Rainbow Division Veterans Foundation of the 42nd Division was unable to collect the Delpech Prize. This year, a delegation from the Rainbow Division Veterans Foundation has travelled to Dachau and will be present at the ceremony to receive it. The prize will be presented by General Jean-Michel Thomas, former President of the CID.

-- Exceptionally, on the occasion of the 80th anniversary, a diploma of recognition will be awarded to the 45th Division for its participation in the liberation of the Dachau concentration camp. It will be presented by President of the CID, Mr Dominique Boueilh.
